His stint in rehab comes as his ‘Mad Men’ character Don Draper has been going through similar personal struggles in the show, after the character was asked to take a leave of absence from his job to deal with his drinking.
British TV fans who don’t watch ‘Mad Men’ might recognise Jon from the last episode of ‘Black Mirror’, where he played a pivotal role in the dystopian series’ Christmas special back in December.
Meanwhile, the second half of the seventh and final series of ‘Mad Men’ is returning to screens in the US on 5 April, before airing in the UK on Sky Atlantic days later on 9 April.
The final episode of the show has already been filmed, with Jon revealing that he broke down in tears as the director yelled “cut!” for the final time, telling Emmy magazine: “Everyone did.”
